Ways To Punish 25th Anniversary Of Great Disaster Nazis After War When the next peace is consid- ered, the :lues will have before them two alternatives, states 'I'lu' London Sunday '1'inx'-.

Large hodies of Germans constitute at this moment the Gestapo, the S.S., and the party officials.

It was on Sunday, Dec. 6, 1917, that the Halifax explosion literally blew apart the entire northern section of the city of 60,000 people, Today scars are still vi+ihle in Ilalifax, which is W2IlilI it holy wartime seaport. In tho northern cud of the city, in the west narrows, which divide Medford I{asin from the stream or plain harbor, two ships collided 25 years ago --the bun, a freighter of Norwegian registry loaded with 8,000 tons of wheat under Belgian relief charter, and the French freighter Mont Blanc, carrying 4,• 000 Ions of explosives. The resulting explosion killed 1,635 persons. Five hundred dis- appeared completely. Scores were blinded and dozens partially blind- ed. Hundreds more received other PARATROOP CHIEF HONORED Col.

It means that the Ameri- cans 1)10 averaging a year ahead on every one of the 17 carriers uInlet' construction. The first half-dozen were he/run only last year, It means that :America's ship- builders are doing a four-year job in two year'.,; that the first of these 35 -knot, 25,000-t on net's, each carrying 80 planes, may be in the fighting line next year. British naval shipbuilding is secret. Their shipyards are not known to have done more than replace the four aircraft carrier! lost since the fall of France. Their warship building p1ograrn was disorganized by the French collapse, Equipment for new fighting ships was delayed while the 1910 losses of every type of weapon used by the army were made good, Now naval constrution is on the sante prior ity a9 tanks, guns and planes, injuries. The explosion was investigated by the law courts, and tho ease was taken to the privy council. That tribunal ruled both ships had been at fault. Rumors 01 sabotage are still unproven today. A new city has arisen front the ruins of the old. A large-scale war- time housing project blots out the scar of the disaster, I1ttt Halifax Hasn't forgotten, and pre(/unions have been taken to ensure that the second world war does not repeat the disaster of the first.

CHRISTMAS IN PRE-WAR DAYS By: George M. Speedie There were eight of us all told told wo were gathered from widely different parts of the world. The Christmas season is always a spe• chat time when sailors foregather, Even atter the lapse of years, I recall that big fellow from some. where in South America, the two sailor lads from Glasgow and two from London—both pairs appar- ently anxious to compete for a prize in their fine sense of humour. There was a man from Denmark, also; but the one who interested mo moro than others was a young sailor from 'Toronto. It was Christmas Eve, and prep- arations for the celebration of Christmas were abundant. The Christman tree—the largest that could be had—lay at the end of the Hall, waiting for the sailors from the home vessels to erect in its proper place and to decorate according to the usage of past years. • This place of meeting for those young sailors front all over the seven seas was the British & American Sailors' Institute 111 Ham- burg, Germany. 1 was there for years as the Chaplain to the sail- ors frequenting that great port. "Great" is permissible, for at that time it was the third or fourth largest port in the world. On this Christman Eve we gathered around the fire. As Chaplain, I suggested that we each toll our best Christ- mas story. It was simple to get dear to talk. The sailing ship stories were particularly interest- ing. The Toronto sailor confined British Colonial Empire Is Not Coming To End Lord Cranborne Asserts Cit- izens Have Mission To Do Replying authoritatively to tilt• Its of imperial policy, Lord Crap' borne declared not long ago that "the British Colonial Empire Is not coming to an end." "The work wo have to do is only beginning," the !louse of Lords was told by Lord Crate borne, retiring colonial secretary, who replaced Sir Stafford Cripps as lord privy seal in the recent cabinet shakeup. "Wo citizens of the British Em- pire have a mission to perform . , essential to the welfare of the world ... to ensure the survival of the way of life for which the United Nations are fighting and in harmony with the principles of the Atlantic charter," he said. "In that great mission we roust not and shall not fail," "Let us not forget," he said, "that what stood between Hitler and absolute victory in 1940 after the fall of France was not Bri- tain, an isolated island standing alone in the sea, but the British Empire, that commonwealth of free peoples and dependencies which only clung closer as the danger grew." -We say, and truly, that the ultimate objective of our 'talky is to pronate self-gove:'n 0 nr In the colonies," he sait!. himself for the most part to the Christmas stories he had heard at the Sunday School of which his parents were members. IIo told his storles differently to the other men, Ite was educated un(1 had had experience on the Lakes ns a sailor. All would have gond well but father and he had haul a seri- ous misunderstitnding that drove the young chap to sea. Something opened the gates of Memory and he thought of Ilonte. There was a blotto on the wall just over his heard "A Route From Houle" which probably made 111111 think of his home in Toronto. We encouraged him to talk of it for it was Christ - Inas, + * Strangely enough, perhaps, Christmas was usually a quiet day at the Sailors' Institute at Ham- burg. For one thing the offices of t.ho British Consulate downstairs were closed. The vessels going to the British Isles and the "'['ramps" to all parts of tho world had a free day as far as it could possibly be arrange(!, and the English people In Hamburg had their Christmas at home with their t1'lends, it was the occasion for the quiet enter- tainment of "Boys away front Home"—lonely lads on the great sea of life, and our Toronto friend was among then(. There were quiet heart to heart talks with ilial about itis early experience of Sun- day School and Church, and t.hc Pilot of the Galilean Lalto and lie said, "i will arise and go to my Father," Probably that is not quite the exact way lie phrased 1t but, looking back over the years, let the say that was the decision he reached on that Christmas 1)ay years ago, '('es, years have passed, and I am now in Toronto. When first 1 chane, 1 looked up my friend o,` Hamburg days but changes had taken place, The house had been demolished, And so: we had met and parted like ships meeting 111 the night—the pathos of it! It is surely a matter for thank- fulness at this Chir'stnlas season that organizations such as the Brit- ish Sailors' Society are keeping open door and a hearty welcome to the Sailors of the Navy and of the Mercantile Navy all over the seven seas.

As long as communication of this character cam be maintained, stores, mechanized equipment, and heavy materials can be provided in flu' greater quantities than would be possible by air trans- port, So the sooner these ports are taken, the better. Importance of Sicily Flm'tliermore Hitler is reported to be hastening all available air strength to Sicily and Sardinia, where the Nazis have previously erected formidable fortifications. Control of the Mediterranean, as Mussolini's mouthpiece, Vir- gluto Gayda, pointed out in his book, "The Problems of Sicily," depends upon Sicily'. Sicily, he said, was Italy's vital base through which all historic move- ments from Europe to Africa and vice versa had proceeded, The quicker hilller's dispositions can be attacked Wen the less trouble there will be in project- ing future Allied operations. Once the Axis Is swept from North Africa, Hitler will have good cause to worry. Already he has moved troops into Southern France, and into Italy in antici- pation of these areas being select- ed by the !United Nations as sec- ond front objectives, but there are many otltel' Miles of sea front that must be covered. From the primary ntissiou of opening the :Mediterranean flow several secondary objectives, some of which bulk almost as large in their ultimate effect Its does the primary mission, Among them is the insuring of the total destruc- tion of Axis forces in Libya, se- curity of the Suez Canal, and ob- taining positions from which thrusts in force against areas in Southern Europe can be launched. Coasts to Watch Although the Nazis apparently have discounted the possibility of an Allied attempt being made through the Iberian Peninsula, probably because of the difficulty of forcing the passes in the Py- renees, there are the Dalmatian and Greek coasts t0 guard In addi- tion to those of France and Italy. Nor Is the possibility of a descent on the Atlantic coast of Europe to bo neglected. The Russian winter is now at work on the Nazis. What effect its grip will have during the next six months cannot be foreseen, but 1liticr has many moro worries with which to cope than was the ease last year when the Russian hinter 11 1 1 but wrecked his east• ern front.

Porterfield BY J. S. MacKINNON, \\'lieu in BIydr a few weeks aeo, my niece, albs Jlary Milne and myself motored to the home of lir. and Mrs, Alex, 1'ol'tel'fic(1 at llarnaelc on the bank of the Maitland River, There were several reason; why I was auxin:Is to see Mr. Pooterfield, and one of these was that seventy five years ago, the Town• ehip of East. Wawanosh was incorporated and to older to suitably commemorate this event al'. Porterfield compiled sane vatua':Ie In• t'crmation regarding' the Township and this intelligence was published in the form of a Booklet and an autographed copy of 1t was sent to me. it was to thank 1111)1 personally for his kindness In sending me a copy of the brochure that I was desirous of ,seeing him. The Booklet is entitled "i istorical Sketch of the Township of East \Wawauosh 18674 1 1142." A statement in the Booklet in which the alunielpality of Blyth was interested is as follows "Like all other new settlements transpoi' Cation was not as we have it today, with Railway facilities practically ou all sides of the Township of East Wass -awash, grain and other farm commodities having to be teamed mostly to Clinton, so that 111 1571 when the L. IT, 811d 13. Railway was projected from London' to Blyth the ratepayers on September 15th of that year voted $18,000.00 to assist the sank. Not satisfied, apparently, with receiving this amount of the people's money on this project, the municipality was again ap• proachetl the following year for another bonus to complete the Road from Blyth to \\Ingham, and on October �_'ud, 1$7:.', the elector's again hied themselves to the Polls and handed over $7,000,00 to the Railway Company, debentures being issued for both these amounts. In 15'77 the Village of Illyth was Incorporated and 210 acres being taken from tho township for this purpose. The \Tillage of Blyth at the th same time paid to e township the suns of $400.00 in full of all claims in reference to Railway Debentures. At a later date the southern part of the Township voted $3000.00 to the C.P,R, to assist In building the railway to Coderiele Debentures were also issued for this amount Some yearn 'ago all the Railway Debentures were redecu►ed, The first Council of East Wawanosh was elected In 1'807 and the gentlemenfollowing gentlemen comprised it: Reeve Robert Currie; Councillors, Hezekiah Ilelps, (.'avid Scott, Lancelot Heathery and Thomas H, Tay- lor. ay lor. Of these Councillors 3Ir. Scott and Mr. Taylor later occupied the beeves Chair, and lir. Taylor established a record by filling the of - flee fifteen times. This equals Dr, Ml11e's record in Myth.The booklet shows the pictures of all the Reeves and it wa.s with a great deal of pleasure that the pages containing their were perused. Many of the names were well known to me, and four of them it is a Privilege to recall were my personal friends, These were W. J. Parks, who I saw on a recent visit to Myth, The other three were Peter 1\', Scott, P. D. Stalker find John E. E111s, 'These having passed to their reward. The picture showing the members and officials of the 19.1.2 Counc'1 is very interesting and the names of all the gentlemen' are very familiar to me including such well•known names as Black, Me - Burney, I3eocroft, Ruddy and X. 1lchowell. If I ant not mistaken Mr, Martin McDowell attended the Blyth Public School. The Reeve ,lir, R, R. Redmond, I can well remember, and 1 still hold in high esteem the memory of his father and mother', lair. Alex Porterfield Is a prominent figure in_ this picture, An outstaatdlug fact regarding this Township is that alio Peter Porterfield held the office of Clerk for thirly.9lx years land 31r. Alec, Porterfield. has held the same office for the same number of years, making' seventy-two years out of the seventy-five years that the Township has been incorporated that the father and son have been officially connected with the 'Municipal Government of East Wawa• nosh. This certainly Is a record of which to be proud. When reading the Booklet 1 made notations in it and then sent it to Rev. Dr, R. W. Ross, of Toronto (who is one of the distinguished sons of the Township). Dr. Ross also made notations of the men and circumstances with which he was familiar and you utay be assured, Mr, Fdltor, (hat the book was well marked. Thi.y treatise by Mr, Porterfield, on the Township of Eget \\'a- wanosh, has .been considered of such historical value an to be worthy of a place in the A1chivcs of the Library of the Parliament Buildings in Queen's Park, Toronto, and one 1s now there for safe keeping and future reference. Mr. Porterfield is a perfect encyclopedia of 'East \Wawanosh, Ile Sbowe.tl me an asse°snrenl Roll o1 the Township 'before the Village of L:yth was Incorporated, when the ratepayers of the West Side of the Village paid taxes to the Toweahip. Some of the nines I had never heard before and others who continued to live In Blyth for some years later were quite familiar to me, Mr, Porterfield has in his possession vital statistic, that are more than of ordinary interest to the people of Myth and vicinity, 1u fact, he has information of considerable hl slorlcal value. With tho facts recorded (and others which space will not per- mit) 1 ani sure your readers will agree that the evening I 'pent at Marnoch was of a most pleasant and enjoyable character; not with- standing Mr, Porterfield's modesty, '1 carried away the idea that through the past seventy-five years dost Wawanoshhas had the Lcneflls of as good Municipal Councils as are to be found In the Prov vince of Ontario, and prclhably n considerable part of the credit. should go to the Porterfield family, who like the (Malt.land) River reminds one that: "Min may come. and men may go But they go on forever."

The ar Against Mrs. Hadley Adapted from the MGM Picture by WILLIAM McCORMICK SYNOPSIS: Mrs. Stella •Hadley, a Washing- ton society matron and a staunch Republican of the old school, is celebrating her birthday with a luncheon on December 7. Present are Elliott Fulton, a friend of the family; Mrs. Hadley's daughter, Patricia; her son, Ted, who work'', for Fulton at the War Depart- ment; her physician, Dr. Meechatn and her hest friend, Cecilia Tal- bot. Mrs. Hadley is annoyed when news of the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor disrupts the party. She is even more annoyed when Fulton tells her he cannot let Ted leave the office on Christmas Eve. She does not know that Ted, a dissi- pated youth, has not been working late at the office each night as he has told her. Nor does she know — yet — that Fulton is go- ing to have Ted transferred to active duty. CHAPTER TWO Mrs. Hadley — very much tic. grand dame distributing largesse —had handed out the last of the Christmas presents to the staff. She turned to the maid. "And now, I've saved the best present till the last," she said. "For you, Millie. 1 asked Mr. Fulton to make inquiries about your brother at Pearl Harbor, He's well and safe."

Millie burst into happy tears, "You may take the evening off to break the good news to your another," Airs. Radley told the beaming girl. "Could I speak to you a mo- ment, Airs, Hadley?" asked Peters, "I had word from the Draft Board today. 'They've reclassified me in 1A. i'nn to report for service next week." "You mean, you'll be leaving me?" asked Mrs. Hadley incredu- lously. "I'm afraid so, Mrs. Hadley." "I'm sure that won't be neces- sary, 1'I speak to Mr. Fulton about it." "1'd sooner you wouldn't do that," said Peters uncomfortably. "If they need ale, 1 feel 1 ought to go." "You may go at the end of the week, but I do think you could have given me a little more notice." "But, Ma'am, I only got my notice...." "We won't discuss it. You may tell Bennett to give you two weeks salary before you leave." Pat entered the room dressed in a Red Cross canteen uniform, "If Teddy has a breakdown, 1 shall hotel Elliott Fulton respon- sible," Mrs. Hadley told her daughter. "Ile has to work again tonight. Elliott might have some consideration for me, even if the Government hasn't." "1'm sorry I couldn't be here to help• you with the Christmas presents, 1 had to dig up an extra girl for canteen duty tonight," "Patricia, is that the canteen that Laura Winters is running?" demanded Mrs. Hadley suspicious- ly. "She's just helping, mother." "I shouldn't think you'd want to associate with the wife of the man who ' contaminated your father's newspaper," Mrs. Hadley countered. "I must run now," her daughter said, planting a kiss on her fore- head. "It's Christmas Eve for the soldiers, too." As Pat was leaving, Bennett apologetically halted her. "I just wanted to tell. you, Miss, that ... well, I didn't care to tell Mrs. Radley ... 1 thought it plight upset her . , . but if I'm missing some evening 1 wanted you to understand, I'in an air raid war- den." "Good for you, Bennett." "Thank you, Miss. You won't mention it to Mrs, Hadley, will you?" e * r Pat assured the butler that she would not and made her way to the canteen. Just how she stet Michael Fitzpatrick has never been quite clear to her. Somehow, from the jam of uniformed men clamoring for coffee and dough- nuts, the happy smile and broad Irish features of Mike suddenly seemed to stand out. Somehow, the handsome young Irish -Ameri- can private managed to ask dis- armingly, "What's your name?" Her name, of course, evoked a grinning, "Mine's Mike—we ought to get together." "Say, couldn't you come over on my side for a while?" he wheedled, "Not while this rush is on," Pat smiled, "why don't you come over to my side?" Mike vaulted over the counter without further invitation rani Pat shoved an apron at hien. "What's that for?" he asked, hacking away suspiciously. "So you won't spoil that nice uniform. Once across that bar- rier you're a worker. You're go- ing to help me wash the dishes." "What—wait a minute." "Of course," said Pat coldly, "you can always go back." There was a moment's hesita- tion, then Mike said decisively, "You're a hard woman. (Thome that gimp." Pat led Mile from behind the counter amid the howls and wise- cracks of the other soldiers. She led him into a little alcove with a sing: piled his:b with dirty di has. "All right. Alike, you can't take it." she told him as he surveyed the dishes ruefully. "Go on hack." "Oh, no you don't. You ean't fire me without notice. Ami from the looks of it, we'll be here at least two weeks." Ile rolled up his sleeves. "I'll leash, you dry," he instructed. "Oh no, we'll both wash." They stood side by side at the sink, washing. Mike broke the silence. "Shhh," he cautioned. "What's t he clatter?" "1 thought 1 henrd the baby crying." "It couldn't be — 1 doped his nine o'clock bottle." "Good girl." There \vas another moment's silence, then Pat stated factually, "that's my hand you're washing," "I wondered why it didn't clink," replied Alike just as factu- ally. "You've still got hold of it." "Do you mind?" "No, I've got one left," replied Pat. They both laughed, Pat \vas smiling happily as Alike drove her Monne that night. "Do you realize if you had taken ono home before the other girls, you could have saved yourself a lot of driving?" she asked with mock severity. "I don't Arnow \Wasihing•ton very well," Mike replied ingenuously. Pat smiled, then issued an abrupt, "'Turn left!" command, "Stop here," she instructed as Mike swung the station wagon around. "What for?" "'Phis is where I live." "In there?" asked Mike in obvi- ous disappointment. "It's awfully big." "It isn't really." "It looks awfully big to me," Mike insisted stubbornly, "Well, I guess you must be kind of tired. It's been swell meeting you. I suppose I'll be seeing you at the canteen sometime." "Stop acting that way," said Pat angrily, "Just because 1 hap- pen to live in a big house is that any reason to treat me as though I had the measles? What differ- ence does it make?" Mike looked at her a moment, then his face broke into a smile, "I'm sorry. It wouldn't make any difference," he said happily, "Not with n girl like you." "Where do you live?" Pat asked. "Clary Street, At least Mother lives there, That's where I was born." "I thought you said you didn't know Washington," Pat accused. "I never really did — until now." Pat looked up at hint, touched and flattered by the sincerity of his remark. 'Their faces drifted very close together. "Do you mind?" Mike asked humbly, almost fearfully. "No—I don't think so," Pat whispered, surprised at herself. He put his arm about her and drew her close, Just as their lips met there was a sudden crash and they were jolted away from each other. They turned in amazement. A sporty looking' roadster had crashed into the rete' end of the station wagon. 'feel stuck his head out of the offending car. "Why don't you look where you're going?" he demanded drunkenly. "i'Il kill hint, so help me," said Mince furiously, climbing' from the car. "Alike, no!" Pat cried, rushing after him. "Alike! Ile's my baro - cher " "Oh!" Alike reacted. • He turned cordially to Ted, "Glad to know. you." "Patricia, who is this 'nogg.?" demanded 'led coldly. "1)o you want me to help you get hits inside?" "1 don't. need any help," Ted insisted. "Go on, soldier. Back to the war." "(;nod nic'ilt, Alil;r,'' said Pat Christmas Eve In Hitler's Reich WIII Be Neither Tranquil Nor Holy This Year Christmas lave has always meant much to Germans, says the New York 'Tinges. Every fancily feasted and looked forward to a cheerful new year. Accordingly 1111ler's government is doing its best to make the most of the traditional spirit, 'There are to be, special ra- tions for the civilian population and ono kilo of pens or beans, ono of flour and sugar and a largo sausage for every soldier on leave, tv h I 1 e Czechs, Nips, Greeks, hrenelnnen and Yi:coslaviaus starve, :111 this, (knit:ins arc al- ready told, is mad passible by good harvests at honek .and Ilse exploitation of occupied countries.

They know that the little extra mea to be doled out males from cattle slaughtered for lark of fodder, that six million foreigners who arta forced to natio. must he fed, that thousands of l'IcrainiuIIs and Rus- sians brought into Germany most bo provided vvith shoe, that the health of the county is in a pre- carious state, and that the stric- test control is necessary even in foreign countries to prevent nulla• tion, Worst of :all is the problem of national health. \\'ilh only ono physician left for every 12,Ou0 civ- ilians, ivilians, Germany fares a medical collapse which must have fat' - reaching effects on war produc- tion. 'Tho tuberculosis rate is ris- ing so rapidly that a new national organization has been created to take the place of divers state, pri- vate, city and party institutions. Diphtheria, pneumonia and other infectious diseases are taking more than the usual toll, The death rate for live births and for the age group between one and 20 years has been rising alarmingly. Such is the shortage of medicines that the lines at drug stores aro as long as those at food shops, llos- pttals are so overcrowded with wounded soldiers that civilians must bo cared for at home, chief- ly by their families. Despite the attacks on the church, Germans will sing "Stillo Nacht, IIellhe Nacht" (Silent Night, Hely Night) as of yore, But this Christmas Eve will be neith- er tranquil nor holy. The older generation will heave a nostalgic sigh when it contrasts it with its predecessors of happier times, "Stille Nacht, Ileilige Nacht"— the sentiment must seem a mock- ery now, And all because a ruling clique led by a fanatic has yet to discover that the precepts of the groat religions express age-old con- victions of civilized mankind and stand for something more than the imaginary predestination of any one nation to rule the world.

"I'm sorry it had to end like this." "What do you mean, 'end'? It's only the beginning. Merry Christ- mas, Pat." Pat looked after him smilingly, as he hurried off toward the sta- tion wagon. A look of incredulity was on Mrs. Hadley's face as she read the official looking card the next morning. "But, it's impossible!" she ex- claimed. "They can't put you in the Army. You're in the War De- partment." "No more, I'm not," replied Ted bitterly, "Darling, you mustn't upset yourself," his mother worried. "I'll phone Elliott right away. All he has to (10 is tell the Draft Board that you're essential to hint." She went to the telephone aid started dialing. "But I'm not." "Then Elliott will have to give you greater responsibility," Mrs. Hadley insisted. She spoke into the phone: "Hello? This is Mrs, Radley. I'd like to speak to Mr, Felton, Oh!

Not long ago a three -weeks -old baby girl vas found late in the even - Ing, crying; on the doorstep of a pri- vate dwelling. The infant was wrapped in warns clothes and ap- peared to have had the best of atten- tion. There was no clue as to the parent:. Police were called, and the baby was taken to the hospital for Sick Children, where she was given n warm v:elcnnle by the night staff. "Welcome little sister," said the nurse who took the infant from the coat and two blankets in which it was wrapped. "Kick around and enjoy yourself;' the nurse continued, as the little one, laughed at her in glee ps if she knew she had found n new home. Who I;nnws what traffic story lies behind this incident, But perhaps it brought some grain of comfort to the. mother's heart to know that her Mile brown -eyed baby was in such capable hands. Dow wonderful it would be if every tae ended as happily as this one! But all too often there is a sombre side to the story. For well over half a century the ]Iospital for Sick Children has been a sanctuary for the sick and crippled children from every part of Ontario. Accident cases; children with de- formed backs and limbs; defective eyesight; rare diseases and physical disabilities; all are cared for and nursed back to health, regardless of race, creed or the ability of parents to pay the cost of hospitalization, This worthy institution which ac- cepts its little patients regardless of race, creed or financial circum- stances has just started its annual Christmas appeal for funds to meet an unavoidable deficit, and to enable its work to be continued in just as effective a manner as in the past, This year $138,000 must be raised. Government grants have not risen with the tremendously increased costs of the past three years of war. No help is received from the To- ronto Federation for Community Service because of the fact that pa- tients are admitted to the Hospital from every part of the Province, There is dire necessity behind this appeal for help. Little children depend on it for their chance for health. Your gift should be mailed to the Appeal Secretary, The Hos- pital for Sick Children, 67 College Street, Toronto, A chance for health and happiness is the greatest possible gift to little children, All Battleships Called Warships All battleships are warships, but all warships aro not battle. ships, says the Windsor Star, Every vessel of war is called a warship. But, the battleships are the big warships, They are the giant fellows of frons. 25,000 to 50,000 tons. They carry 12 - inch, 15 -inch, or 16 -inch guns ns well as smaller armament. In the United States, the battle- ships are named for states. The aircraft carriers are named for battles. The cruisers are named for cities. And, the destroyers are named for people. The battleships are the capital ships of the line. They are the warships which form the backbone of a fleet. TABLE TALKS BADIE B.

Some Good Advice On Wood Cutting "On farms where wood is still hurried it is a good plan to get the trees felled, trimmed and skidded as soon as fall ploughing is fin- ished, so these logs can be easily got at to draw them to the wood yard near the house," says the Iron. Duncan Marshall. "The days of cutting %yowl with cross -cut saws is over—it now is being done by a small circular saw rigged in a frame for the purpose, Once the Togs are at the wood yard It only means a few hours of a wood bee to cut them, Get this done early and the blocks can be split easiest when they have had some heavy frost. Much better, of course, if the wood is green. Live trees should be cut only, however, when there aro no dead ones in the wood lot to cut. A small piece of hush is a fine asset to any farm and saves an cornual expenditure for fuel that seems to bo growing larger, Everything should be ready for winter this year, as 1942 will bo remembered as a good year on the lanai."

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 52 DYNAMIC CHRISTIAN LIVING Acts 8:8.15; Romans 1211.3, 9-21 PRINTED TEXT Romans 12:1.3, 9.21 GOLDEN TEXT.—Be not over- come of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time,—The martyrdom of Ste- phen took place, probably, A.D. 36, The Apostle Paul wroto the Epistle to the Romans A.D. 60. Place,—Stephen was martyred in the city of Jerusalem, Tho Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle from which a passage is taken for this lesson to the Christian church situated in Rome, the groat capital of the Roman Empire. Renew The Mind 1, "I beseech thee therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service." As Paul undertakes to describe the Chrsitian life, he begins with the body which has so much to do with the life we lead. 2. "And be not fashioned ac- cording to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good, the acceptable and perfect will of God." We are according to what we think and when our mind is renewed or changed, then we are changed, The result is that we aro enabled to test and determine what L God's good and acceptable and perfect will for us. Anything less than, or contrary to, the will of God is not for our good, is not pleasing to God and is not com- plete. Measure of Faith 3, "For I say, through the grace that was given one, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think I EQUINE MAMMAL j • IIOIUZONTAL Answer to Previous Puzzle 1 Pictured IAL F 0 N 10 e 0 J U N equine animal, •O R ©AIN V E RISE Olt is ----to PRY RIELL 1 S'`>ERA the horse and L A QT E b S T'Y 0 S ass, A PLAY E 0 A .:=S ED' C 11 Crucifix.

Life Among Believers 9(a), "Let love be without hypocrisy," Christians aro not to love others by merely saying they do, and then living in such a way that it le clear they do not, but they aro to love men In truth. 9(b). "Abhor that which ie evil; cleave to that which is good." This admonition is something for us to do. It requires an effort. humanly speaking, it is so easy to cleave to the evil and let go the good. But if the spirit of God indwells us, we will, by our new nature, shrink from the evil and we will plan aur life so that good- ness may attend our way and call us to a higher place of life, Brotherly Love 10. "In love of the brethren be tenderly affectionate one to an- other; in honor preferring one an- other." Christians should love each other with the same sincerity and tenderness as if they were the nearest relatives, 11. "In diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord," 'There is nothing so in- excusable in the Christian life as indolence in the service of Christ. 12. "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing sted- fastly in prayer," hope, patience and prayer aro not only duties but the richest sources of con- solation and support. Virtue of Hospitality 13, "Communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality." From the very be- ginning hospitality was recog- nized as one of the most import- ant of Christian duties, The Christians looked upon themselves as a body of men scattered throughout the world, living as aliens among strange people, and therefore bound together as the members of a body, as the breth- ren of ono family. The practical realization of this idea would de- mand that whenever a Christian went from one place to another he should find a home among the Christians, One necessary part of such intorconrmunion would be the constant carrying out of the duties of hospitality. 14. "Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not," For a perfect illustration of this truth in our Lord's own life, see Luke 23:34, 15. "Rejoice with them that re- joice; weep with thein that weep," Christians must never think that concern for our spiritual life should ever lead to indifference to the experiences of other people. 16. "Bo of the sane mind one toward another, Set not your minds on high things, but con- descend to things that are lowly." For communities and for indivi- duals the cherishing of the spirit of amity and concord is a condi- tion without which there will be Iittle progress in Christian life, Life In Man's World 17. "Render to no man evil for good. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men." Do not drift into inconsistency. Watch against what others may fairly think to be unchristian in you. 18. "If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, bo at peace with all men." To keep the peace will be hard at tines but it will be worthwhile. 19. "Avenge not yourselves, be, loved, but give place unto the wrath of God: for it le written, vengeance belongeth unto me; 1 will recompense saith the Lord," God has long ago settled the whole matter by exacting justice from wrong -doers. Not one will escape. Lr every case perfect justice will be (lone. Victory of Love 20. "But if thine enemy hun- ger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head," In thus doing you will be taking the most effectual ven- geance; the idea of vengeance be- ing 'transformed' so as to become in fact the `victory of love.' 21, "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Alit at that which is good and the assaults of ovil will have lost half their power.

The sale of the records was soon to top that of any other records Bing had ever made, Last year the profits from these record- ings were used by hien to finance entertainment for soldiers . , . a generous gesture.

She surrounds her couple with kindly and unkindly neighbors that include hoarders, hysterical club -women war work- ers, engaged couples, and the out- standing figure of Mrs. Tont Fitts who would rather parade, wear a uniform, serve on com- mittees, do up bundles for far away places than keep house for her husband or help the poor. Candace and Andy, who bravely marry with the draft staring them in the face, crowd their happineu into the months that remain be- fore the dreaded hour when Andy is called, Scrimping and saving to make both ends meet, their baby Michael is born to them just a few days before Andy is in- ducted into the service.
